Kelly Clarkson Changes A Billie Eilish Lyric: Why Fans Think It’s A Message To Her Ex Brandon Blackstock

Kelly Clarkson has wowed fans with her daily covers of pop songs during her “Kellyoke” segment of “The Kelly Clarkson Show”.

But one song in particular had some raising their eyebrows recently, as the “Voice” coach made a small but meaningful change to the lyrics.

Last week, Clarkson covered an abridged version of Billie Eilish’s single, “Happier Than Ever,” the title track from the Grammy winner’s second studio album, which came out in July.

The bitter breakup ballad has earned radio play and viral fame on TikTok for its scathing lyrics — notably, the symphonic swell at the end of the second verse, which is exactly where Clarkson made her change.
